> best climate for Canada

The Okanagan valley seems like it might merit that title as well, being fairly dry and sunny (sagebrush and wine growing!)

Looks nice! https://goo.gl/maps/nWS4Stwc1WT2

I think Victoria has better climate as well...

The sunshine coast a little up from Vancouver has reasonable climate as well, it's in the rain shadow of the Vancouver Island mountains.

So there's no shortage of land with similar enough climate. It just doesn't have "Vancouver" on it.

It's not bad, but compared to the wild and lush nature around Vancouver, it's pretty barren.

Given that it's nice and dry, that's a feature, not a bug!

Vancouver Island has Ewoks! Call me a tree-hugger but I'd favour a forest walk beneath a canopy of 800 year old trees over gaining a tan in Kelowna any day.
